New video tutorial on using ZendAMF
I just finished uploading a new tutorial that shows you the basics of using the new ZendAMF framework. As you’ll see, the workflow is almost identical to the workflow for AMFPHP so it shouldn’t take long to make the switch. In this example I show how to retrieve database content and read it into Flash using the NetConnection class. Check it out at http://www.gotoandlearn.com.

Thank you, Lee!
So useful as always Lee!
Is the ZendAMF as stable as AMFPHP 1.9 beta2?
Why does Zend use a custom bootstrap, instead of a default gateway?
What benefit in ZendAMF?I usually use amfphp/Browser to test my Data?ZendAMF it seem don’t have Browser Page as amfphp
Still Thank you for your share ^^
Thanks for sharing this :p
Thanks Lee!
[...] New video tutorial on using ZendAMF [...]
This is so useful and very easy the way you explain. Thank you so much.
Great Lee, but if you just finished uploading, you’re really out of bed early (’round 6am), or you never went to bed or left you computer running? btw check out the link in my name. (to a serge jespers blog post)

Here is my proposal Flex and Zend_Framework connection (Polish)
Lee,
You are awesome. I have been waiting for this. Hopefully you’ll expand on this tutorial.

Thank you very much Lee!
Thanks Lee!
This is great. Thanks.
Nice work as usual.
I’d like to make one request for this and future tutes:
When you say “don’t do this in production”, could you please expand on best practice?
re> Service Browser for Zend:

@John I hope to bring the same service browser from AMFPHP into a universal remoting project.”

I have used AMFPHP, and loved the browser, the all in 1 folder experience and the fact you dont have to register your php class files, just drop them in the services folder. On first glance Zend seems to do none of these things. Only the fact that it is supported and AMFPHP is not seems to be the advantage? Love the tutorials and blog Lee!
Once again, great video, Lee. I found it as soon I finished uploading my video tutorial on the same topic! Yours is much better, and very appreciated.
Anyway, for those like me who don’t like setting up the barebones every time, I made a Zend_Amf code generator in AIR, which you can get at http://flexandair.com.
Thanks for your continuing excellence on gotoandlearn, Lee. You’re the man.
Lee, do you know if ZendAMF can take advantage of the native AMF Extension for PHP. AMFPHP is much faster if you install the AMF Extension. I just wondered if ZendAMF would benefit from it also, and if not how much of a speed difference there might be in using AMFPHP with the extension, and ZendAMF without it.

Hi Lee,
any chance of saving the fla file as a CS3 document so that I can view it in my legacy software
thanks

Hello Lee,
do you know which direction Adobe is going to take with the licences and software. Because you know have ZendStudio, Flex Builder Eclipse plugin and Flex Builder. Those are alle seperate licenses. The first two are a great toolset now, but what with all those people who bought Flex Builder? Is there a switch possible? Will Adobe & Zend launch one software package, like a Visual Adobe Studio? Hope to hear some more, before getting those licenses
grtz
Thanks pal.
Hi Lee,
I thought it was worth adding this link:

…for PHP beginners like myself
Hi Lee,
I Hope you wanna made Video tutorial for Flex and ZendAMF accessing to the dataGrid. it would be Great.
Cheers
Any chance to show code that would get it to work once uploaded to the web? (the code supplied does not work)
as usual great tutorial, thanks!
i’ve been trying to set up the same thing within the zend framework mvc structure and for some reason , it doesn’t work
I had to create a server.php file in my root folder (/public) as opposed to a ServerController.php in the /application/controllers folder . The latter works fine with Flex but with Flash, the same structure returns an error!
gratefully!
Hi, Can anyone helo me with this tutorial? I am usin WAMP and set up a directory called “public”. My bootstrap file for works fine as i get the “AMF Zend Endpoint” message. I have stared at the flash code and that appears okay..I keep getting the “bad call” error message which Lee pointed out means there maybe an error in the call. I looked at my class file (Tutorials.php) and can’t seem to figure out where i am going wrong. I am not sure if it is in the access to the dbase. I am running localhost, with root and root to connect, the database name is “sardbase” and the table is “test”..How can i check to see if i am even connecting to the dbase as I think that may be the issue.
thanks very much for all the excellent gotoandLearn tut’s.
any chance on a follow up for this one sometime ?
Like zendAMF and Flash SEO ?
Would be very much appreciated !!
Hi,
I have a big problem that is possibly to do with using version 1.7.7 of the framework otherwise surely lots of other people would get this error. I load the files to my server as described but when I try to open the bootstrap file in firefox it opens a download prompt! It’s just a php file, everything is as it should be so why would it prompt me so? help!
I’m facing a similar problem when passing more than a parameter to a php function. I get a bad call error message. I had tried everything and nothing is working. This is frustrating.
A short tutorial passing variables to php would be more than great
.
Anyways you rock man!
Thank you for another great tutorial!
I would very much appreciate a tutorial/blog post on securing ZendAMF, just like the one you did for AMFPHP.
Keep it coming!

hello all
does anyone no how to using this method send a predefined variable from flash and to php to be used in the sql query
thanx
appreciate any and all help
Very nice tut. If ZendAMF is the coming thing (also according to Adobe) a deeper exlanation of class mapping (AS3 and server-sided) might be really helpful. I guess a lot of people even never heard about it.
I’m seeing drastically slow return times to Flash with ZendAMF, whereas the same script with AMFPHP is fast.
I just posted a ZendAMF Service browser at http://www.zamfbrowser.org. There’s a demo online and a step through in the documentation page. Hope everyone finds it useful! You can leave me questions at http://www.almerblanklabs.com/2009/11/zamfbrowser-1-0-zendamf-service-browser/#more-1265,
